Can I use Solid wire for rewiring sailboat if not WHY?
dazed, you seem to be rather confuzed.
The fools are the ones that crimp and then solder. really? It has been industry standard and required since the early 70's. there is a reason for that. If the terminal is designed to be a crimp connection only, then soldering is adding a failure point. If the terminal is designed to be a solder joint, it usually has a low pressure crimp designed to hold the conductor and terminal together until the solder is applied. If you solder a high pressure crimp terminal, you weaken the crimp, allowing the terminal to "relax" at due to the heat of soldering. I think we are talking about 2 different types of terminals. -- the most committed always win |
